Gargoyles tore my dwarves a new one.

There's only ONE embark that I still pine for and have tried to find in new worlds that I've generated, to no avail.

The spot was 3x3 probably, descending towards a major river that ran from one end of the right side of the map to the other along a smaller river. However, what made this spot so memorable was that the major river had a waterfall which froze during the winter, but the lower part of the major river did not freeze. This resulted in a huge block of ice forming every winter and when Spring came, the whole thing melted and flashflooded the bottom of the map.

Most of the first year went as I had to build a big dam to contain all the water that flushed down and make it go out of the map. In the end that spot became an overground city with little houses of obsidian for everyone and the yearly flood was always exciting to watch. What with there being a bridge over the dam without rails, so it was always fun to see whether or not someone would be washed off and into the water. No one ever had that fate though.

Back in the days of 40d, I once embarked on a 3x3 site that had a chasm zig-zagging through the site.  5 of the 9 embark tiles were 'chasm' tiles, and all of them seemed to be infested with cave spiders.  A few years in, nearly the entire surface of the map was carpeted with cave spider webs.  I built a massive cave spider silk clothing export business.  Immigrants with pet cats were killed on sight.

I embarked on a frozen site with a block of ice floating above most ground but it was connected to a little hill... What made it better was there was a little "green spot" under it where there was no snow and trees and shrubs grew.

Sounds a little like a greenhouse of ice lol
